About Jessica
Biography
I received my undergraduate degree at the University of California Irvine cum laude. I obtained my law degree from Whitter Law Schoot,where I received the Deans Merit Scholarship and Deans' Citation for Outstanding Leadership and Service, awarded to only 6 recipients of the graduating class of 2013.
I was admitted to practice in 2014 and in 2016 started my own private practice in criminal law.
I've utilized my education to serve my community. I was appointed to provide indigent legal services by means of the Desert Conflict Panel. While serving on the panel I handled over 1,000 criminal cases (including misdemeanor and complex homicide cases). I also represented juvenile clients through all court stages.
I've worked on post-conviction matters including resentencing based on new status and Franklin Hearings, I valued being involved with my community. I am a member of Desert Bar Association as a trustee. I was an active member of the Warren Slaughter Richard Roemer Inn of Court. In 2017 I received the honor from Palm Springs Life of Top Lawyer in the category of Criminal Defense.
